Coles Magical Builders: Harry Potter Checklist & Bonus Tips

Update August 2023 – You may be looking for the new Coles Super Hero Builders.

After the public outcry over the previous years of very plastic collectible toys from Coles supermarkets in Australia, an emphasis on recycled and biodegradable toys and collectables hit both Coles and Woolworths in 2022.

In July 2022, both supermarket chains launched their competing collectibles – Disney Fixems at Woolworths and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter & Fantastic Beasts Magical Builders at Coles.

How Many Coles Magical Builders Are There?

There are 35 different characters in the set across the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts franchises.

Coles Magical Builders Checklist 2022

Because supermarkets generally delete everything off their sites after a promotion is over, I like to archive as much as possible on my site so that anyone looking to complete their set later knows what to look for on eBay or Facebook Marketplace in order to complete their collection. Who knows maybe in 10 years’ time, long after you’ve recycled your original set you want to go back and buy these all over again.

 

#1 Harry Potter

On his eleventh birthday, Harry Potter learns that he has been accepted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

#18 Sirius Black

Sirius Black is possibly the most infamous prisoner ever to be held at Azkaban – imprisoned for murdering 13 people in broad daylight. During Harry’s third year at Hogwarts, he discovers that Sirius is his godfather and an Animagus. Sirius provides guidance to Harry in both life and death.

#19 Alastor Moody

‘Mad-Eye Moody’ was a very talented and powerful Auror and a key member of the Order of the Phoenix during the First and Second Wizarding Wars. He developed a ruthless reputation and was responsible for the imprisonment of many Dark wizards in Azkaban. His nickname was derived from his magical, electric-blue left eye which could see through just about anything.

#20 Lord Voldemort

#27 Fantastic Beasts Dumbledore

Albus Dumbledore is the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where one of his former students was Newt Scamander. Newt has since become a trusted friend and protégé, though the always shrewd Dumbledore has no compunction about using Newt for a noble purpose.

#28 Queenie Goldstein

Queenie Goldstein is Tina’s vivacious and slightly quirky younger sister, who is undeniably beautiful, but there is much more to her than meets the eye. Queenie works a menial desk job at MACUSA in the same department as Tina, but she doesn’t have her sister’s driving ambition to be an Auror.

#29 Niffler

 

Newt’s beloved mischievous little Niffler. Though gentle and affectionate, Nifflers have a destructive nature when they get a glimpse of something shiny that they must collect. To quote Newt, hide the teaspoons (whenever Teddy’s around)!

How to get Bonus Coles Magical Builders: Tips & Hacks

Like any promotion for bonus toys at Coles or Woolworths, this Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts set is no different. You can get one free with every $30 spent in store, then you take your receipt to the staff member at the self-checkout or ask the person at the regular checkout if they are serving you there. But as usual, there are participating brands that give you an extra one if you buy one of their products.

It’s important to remember that you need to be spending $30 as well as buying a participating brand to qualify. So you cannot just buy one Colgate Toothbrush on its own in order to get your Harry Potter toy.

You only get 1 bonus pack per brand per transaction. If you are buying a few items from Arnott’s for example, to maximise your bonuses, try and split your shop into multiple $30+ transactions each with 1 of Arnott’s products separately.

Coles Express does not give bonuses for buying from these brands, it’s for the regular supermarket only, however, fuel purchases contribute towards these and given the cost of fuel these days, you’ll probably always get 2-3 per tank!

Shopping at Coles Online makes it very easy to collect these, they have a special link here that allows you to shop all participating brands and products. This is very convenient if you want to try and grab something from each brand you like before you do the rest of your regular shopping. However, there’s a maximum of 20 can be collected per transaction online. There is no limit for them in-store, so theoretically, you could buy 1 product from all 36 brands, then you also receive 1 for every $30 you spent in order to do this, plus 1 for every $30 spent on other products in general, meaning you’re really only limited by the balance of your bank account.

List of Participating Brands

Here is a list of participating brands to get your bonus:

• Arnotts
• BOM (Breakfast on the Move by Coles)
• Bref
• Colgate
• Carman’s
• Chobani
• Cottee’s
• Darrel Lea
• Dine
• Dynamo
• Farmers Market

When Does Coles Magical Builders End?

This is an 8-week promotion running from 6 July 2022 until 30th August 2022 or while stocks last.

Who is the Rarest Character?

Most would consider the Yule Ball Ron to be the rarest in that you cannot get him in a regular packet, but from a Coles Express Service Station.

What to Do With Extra Builders?

If you have too many doubles that you no longer want, you can simply put them into your recycling bin (preferably in an envelope). You can also repurpose them into custom earrings, custom keychains or used in other arts and crafts.
